The main changes are: explicit numeric conversion functions ( e. g. FLOOR and FLT ) must be used, the LOOP and EXIT statements have been eliminated, WHILE statements have been extended, RETURN statements can only be connected to the end of a function, imported variables and structured value parameters are read-only and arrays can be assigned without using COPY.

There is speculation that the zeros of the zeta function are connected to the energy levels of complex quantum systems.
